On June 15 the Saint Augustine Ballet brings to the stage a new production of the enchanted Shakespearean tale, "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

This romantic comedy tangles the fairy world with the human world. The ballet is filled with fairies, a mischievous Puck, a royal wedding, and comedic/chaotic events amongst young love; elements for an audience of all ages.

The ballet will feature choreography not seen before, an airy score by Felix Mendelssohn, dancers of all ages, and a new guest artist to the St. Augustine stage. Professional ballerina Adrianna de Svastich of BalletFleming in Philadelphia will be dancing as Titania, Queen of the Fairies.

Audiences will welcome back to the stage, principal dancer Yosbel Delgado-Hernandez, also with BalletFleming, who will dance the role of Oberon. Delgado has performed with the Saint Augustine Ballet in past Nutcracker productions as the Cavalier, demonstrating excellent athleticism and artistry.

After the 2 p.m. performance, children ages 3 to 10 will be invited to enjoy a peek into the world behind the magic of the stage (must be ticket holders). The ballet will offer a fun back stage tour given by the director and choreographer. Children will be able to ask questions, meet the dancers, and have a photo opportunity with the guest principal dancers, de Svastich and Delgado-Hernandez.

The production will have a limited engagement. Performances are 2 and 7:30 p.m. June 15 in Lewis Auditorium at Flagler College, 14 Granada St., in downtown St. Augustine.

Tickets are $25 and $30, with a $5 discount for seniors and children 11 and younger. Tickets can be purchased online at www.saintaugustineballet.com. For more information, call 904-824-1746.
